Heart-Opening Wisdom

One of my great pleasures is to introduce you to my friends and colleagues who are making a profound difference in the world with their writings and teachings. I've been blessed to be connected to so many whose voices serve as a catalyst to broaden our perspectives and open us up to new ways of thinking and living. Right now, I am reading three amazing books that I thought I would pass along to you since reading encodes our consciousness and allows new realities to emerge.

Gregg Braden, a dear friend of mine, is a visionary in bridging science and spirituality. His book Fractal Time, just out in paperback, has literally blown my mind open. Gregg takes the modern discoveries of nature's patterns (fractals) and the ancient view of a cyclic universe and illustrates how by looking in the past, we can know what to expect in the present and the future in everything from war and peace between nations to the patterns of human relationships. He uses this concept to illustrate the choice points in our lives where we can select a new outcome for returning patterns.

Judith Orloff's book Second Sight takes us on her journey from an intuitive child, alone with confusing abilities, to an esteemed psychiatrist who comes out of the "intuitive closet" to defy medical taboos. I love how this book balances her own story with empowering and practical techniques to awaken our own intuitive powers to transform our health and our lives. Judith is a great resource in the areas of intuition, energy medicine and spirituality, and she is a fabulous guide beyond the limitations of our intellects and into uncharted realities.

And finally, I've been curling up at night with a sweet book from DailyOM co-founder Madisyn Taylor called Learning to Live. Madisyn's book weaves together award-winning inspirational thoughts with Madisyn's piercingly honest story. She wrote the book to serve as a guardian angel for people who are learning to live life fully, a task worthy of our attention.

In a day when so many people have given up reading books, I can promise that reading books will have a long-term benefit to your health and well-being as well as to your level hope and inspiration. Books take you on a journey unlike a quick email message or a television fix. So read until you can't read anymore. Put the books near your bed and allow the wisdom that has been gathered for you to be your guide into an inspiring future.
With love and blessings,
